LGBT Center Presents One-Night-Only Performance Of Doric Wilson's STREET THEATER, 6/18

The LGBT Community Center will present a one-night-only performance of STREET THEATER June 18. The play written by Doric Wilson chronicles the time leading up to the Stonewall riots in 1969. Wilson was a witness and participant in the riots.

Wilson describes the show as "not so much as a history of the event, but as a record of the people he knew and the incidents he was involved in on Christopher Street in the months, days and hours leading up to the night gays fought back. The play focuses on a panorama of drags, dykes, leathermen, flower children, vice cops and cruisers-the innocent and not-so­-innocent bystanders who would turn the 28th of June, 1969 in­to Stonewall-the D-day of gay history."

The STREET THEATER cast includes Bradley Wells, Chris Andersson, Patrick Askin, Ben Strothmann, Carlos Ponton, James Nugent, Jonathan Cedano, Desmond Dutcher, Joe DeFeo, Oliver Houser, Nick Mathews, Michael Lynch and Rebecca Nyahay. The show will also feature grafic design by Howard Cruse.

STREET THEATER will be performed at 7pm. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Tickets are available online at http://www.gaycenter.org/node/5342.

The LGBT Community Center is located at 208 West 13th Street between 7th Ave and Greenwich St.
